There are many ways to protect your files & folders but most of them requires a software which usually takes time to lock or unklock your files too. I'll share a simple trick today which will help you to protect your files without using any software, this trick will work on almost all version of windows (tested on XP & 7). This trick works using batch programming, don't worry you need not to learn that. In the method given below we will create a simple batch file, just follow the steps, trust me it's damn easy.

2. By default the password is set as "ywfpass" to change it, simply replace the text ywfpass with the password of your choice in notepad. 3. Now save your file as ywflock.bat (or any other name, but .bat is must)4. Now open ywflock.bat, it'll create a folder named MyFolder.5. Copy or move all your data that you want to protect in that folder.6. Now open ywflock.bat and when command prompt appears type Y and press enter.7. Now folder is locked (in real it's hidden from your view), to access that folder again re-run ywflock.bat (this time it will ask for password to unlock, type ywfpass and press enter).8. That's it, one advice for further securing: you should keep ywflock.bat somewhere else after locking the folder and bring it to original location only when you have to unlock the folder.If you have any queries like what this method really does? how it protects or hides our files? what are the risks? e.t.c. then please feel free to message us on our official FB page:
